Are the residence halls wired for cable TV?

Yes. Ohio Wesleyan subscribes to a basic cable service, including HBO (but no other premium channels). If you would like to bring a TV for your room, each room has a cable-ready hook-up. You must also provide your own cable cord. The cost of cable is included in your housing fees.

Is there a telephone in my room?

No. Students need to supply their own landline phone if they wish to have one. Each room has an assigned phone number. A charge for basic service is included in the housing fees.

What laundry facilities are available?

Each residence hall has a laundry room, usually located on the ground floor of the building. There is no extra charge to use the laundry facilities! The University assumes no responsibility for any damage which might occur to students’ belongings as a result of use of laundry machines. Ironing boards are located in each residence hall. Irons are not provided.

Can I bring my own loft?
